Yes, but has anyone asked the fatberg how it feels about all this?
zeristor•2h ago
“trucked away for disposal at a landfill site as toxic waste.”

Surely there are better ways of disposing of this, surely high temperature incineration.

Mind you 30 million years in the future geology will have kneaded landfill sites into rocks, will a fatberg end up being a small pocket of oil?

At what point will wet wipes be banned?
toomuchtodo•2h ago
Likely never. The solution is large solids grinders designed for them stationed along the network, with the cost baked into sewage rates. Annoying, but humans gonna human, so engineer around the human.

Put a little vanilla scent in it, buy some molds and sell it as mood candles. Profit!
